Well hi there!

I may have a vague notion of who the track coach is, but my oldest DS was more into the musicals than sports (he's in college now,1st year) and my youngest goes to Tech. It is a nice area though, isn't it?

Checkin in from Martha's Vineyard. Born and raised in Southie then kept moving south once I left my parent's home. First to Quincy, then Avon, then on to the Vineyard. Hopefully one day I'll get far enough south to live in the Disney area.

We're looking into late Nov (after Tday) or early Dec 08. LOL

We went in 2006 in the first week of Dec. the decorations are amazing! they even do up the resorts, don't know anything about Villas. The Osborne lights - if you get there early (5:30) you can see them and then skip out the back. We went out the front way - and the crush of humanity merging into that area was quite impressive. Not sure a stroller could get out that way, that's why I hope the back way would work. In Epcot there is all sorts to see!

Hi, everybody,
A pleasure to be cruising boards again -- haven't seen 'em since last year, when we were at the 5 yard line, but couldn't score. this year, we're thinking about a May trip (early May). It's such a charge being on this board because people are so upbeat -- especially Mass. people!!!

Anybody going first or second week of May -- we went that time two years ago, and saw nary a Mass. resident. Seems an off time for northerners. Also -- we're looking for advice on buying someone's points for a time share.

Any advice, tips, or friendly hellos ALWAYS welcome, because if you're from Mass. -- WE LOVE YOU!!!

We'll be there the first week of May. If you want to see Mass people go during school vacation week. I think half of the state is there then. We don't need to go during school vacations any more, so we try to go right before or right after. Last time we went to the HDDR, half the audience was from Mass. That was toward the end of May in 06.

Hi! I'm from Dudley too!

 

[Pirates4me]

Cape Cod here!

GO GIANTS!!!!

 

[browning]

Who else is going first week of May?? I think we are? Where are you staying. I hate the Giants. We love Disney -- stayed at AK last time, but looking at Port Orleans or Wilderness this time. Recommendations?
We never go during school vacation -- did once and will never again. It was brutal -- and as much as we love seeing fellow Mass. residents, too crowded during vk time.

hugs,
steve

Going May 13 - 20 and will be at POR. Just DW and I no children. We have never gone during the summer or any school vacation week. Some of you think us Northerners need to be in Disney during the winter months. Not so. Some of us actually enjoy the snow and cold.

We'll be back before Memorial Day and just in time to plant the garden.

 

[mejkjj97]

I am so jealous. Use to go all the time in May. It was the absolute best time to go. The weather is so beautiful.

Now I will be one of those either during April breaks or summer. DH just became a teacher so will be with every other person from MA. so we are going this April vacaction, staying at the Dolphin this time.

That's the Easton I am talking about!

Has anyone been to "The World" the first week of June before? Any insight on heat/humidity/crowds/etc...

 

[mejkjj97]

Hello

Stonehill Grad here!!

I have been to WDW the last week in May to the first week June at least 3 times. It was actually my favorite time to go. The temp was in the mid to high 80's but there was no humidity. It was also nice since the parks are open later so we spent the afternoon by the pool and went to the parks late in the day.

We also found the crowds very managable. Sat was the worst day but when isn't it. We never waited more the 20 min for a ride and the crowd seem mostly from Europe.
